The Star Wars frenzy is really beginning to heat up. With the impending release of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith--the final movie (or midpoint, depending on how you look at it) in George Lucas" six-chapter space drama--the Star Wars-licensed games have really begun to roll in. Lego Star Wars was released earlier this month, Star Wars: Empire at War was announced early this year, and Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars Galaxies: Rage of the Wookiees will both be released in the first week of May.
If that weren"t enough for insatiable Star Wars fans, LucasArts today announced Star Wars: Battlefront II, the sequel to the popular third-person shooter released last year. The game will once again be developed by Pandemic Studios, which previously worked with LucasArts on Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction. Battlefront II is scheduled to be released this fall on the Xbox, PlayStation 2, and PC.
